Tips for taking TOBI® (Tobramycin)

Do not use other medications in your nebulizer other than TOBI.

Your nebulizer should be cleaned between treatment sessions to ensure no risk of infection or illness.

TOBI ampules should be kept refrigerated. However, if there is no refrigerator available the foil pouches can be kept at room temperature for up to 28 days.

Do not use TOBI if it appears to be cloudy, has particles in it, or has been kept at room temperature for more than 28 days. Do not use TOBI beyond the expiration date stamped on the ampule.

Doses should be taken as close to 12 hours apart as possible. Doses should not be taken less than six hours apart.

Patients on multiple therapies are often instructed to take other treatments first, then followed by TOBI.

Always consult your physician and CF care team about using any medication or inhalation equipment.
